The Pack Are Back! Phew!

I am very happy because the Packers finally won last night.
It had been a while! Their offense scored right away after a monster drive down
the field, and I thought, “At least they have shown up to play!” But the
defense did not seem capable of stopping the Eagles from answering with their
own touchdown. However, after that the defense started to come to life too,
batting the ball down and even intercepting it, while the offense kept racking
up points. And this was on the road – and the Eagles were undefeated at home!
It’s good to have our Pack back! Though I do have to admit that the officiating
seemed weirdly biased towards the Packers. Now let’s see if they can keep up
this momentum…

In sad sports news, a soccer team from Brazil just died in a
plane crash as they were on their way to a tournament. They were a small-time
team who had really begun to coalesce the last couple of years, and this year
they were on their way to the second-tier championship, with their sights on
the first-tier one next year. It was a Cinderella story with a tragic ending. Pray for them and their devastated fans.

About Me

I am a third-hand gift, a straw hat with a wide brim. I used to have natural and navy stripes, but after much time in the sun, the navy ones have faded to a sort of chocolatey tone. The big blue flower around the brim was my wearer's own touch.
